Farewell to Hartmut Fillsack: Last concert in Gedern!

Farewell to Hartmut Fillsack: Last concert in Gedern!

A chapter comes to an end: Hartmut Fillsack puts his musical task as the chord director of the Liederkranz Gedern. On Saturday, June 21, 2025, he will swing his baton for the very last time. After 20 years in the service of choral music, the native Udenhainer says goodbye to active choral life, in the extraordinary framework of an open-air singing in the Gederner Castlehof. The anticipation for a great concert and many emotional moments is already noticeable, such as fnp reports.

The farewell of Fillsack is not a funeral march, but a celebration full of music. A colorful program with classic songs, musical melodies and popular film songs are expected. Admission is free, and the mixed choir in 1883 Burkhards, the Fillsack was loyal to his two decades. In his time as a chord director, Fillsack not only demonstrated his musical skills, but also linked valuable friendships that are close to his heart.

from the teacher to the chord director

his way into the world of music was shaped from the early childhood. The great -grandfather was a professor and composer, the grandfather concert violinist, and the father had the hat of a choir director. No wonder Fillsack decided to train music! He studied teaching at the University of Gießen with the subjects of mathematics, biology and sport. However, the music was his elixir of life. After a one -year training as a choir director at the church music school in Frankfurt and first experiences in Wittgenborn, where vocal ligament paralysis forced it to a short stop, he finally took over various choirs and established himself as a popular and respected conductor.

The memories that Fillsack connects with its work is apparently also the change in the choir scene. Since 2019, the number of singers in the song wreath has dropped from 37 to only 20, which is not only here, but also in many other choirs a recurring problem. The pressure to win young singers is enormous. Many choirs struggle with the outdated membership stock and lucrative offers that are often conflict loads, as wikipedia explained.

A new wind blows

The successor to Fillsack already has a name: Thomas Löffler will enter his footsteps. An exciting new chapter for the song wreath, which wants to continue to play a role in the region's musical landscape. It is to be hoped that the enthusiasm that the fill sac has conveyed over the years will also be continued under his successor. The chord director title he wears is not just an honorary title, but a testimony of his extraordinary commitment.

In addition to the planned farewell concert, a great reunion in the Gederner Castlehof is also to be expected. Among other things, the men's singing club Liederkranz will be performed by Fillsack, under the direction of Fillsack. In the приятно frequent neighborhood, many are happy about the comeback of the choir scene, which Fillsack itself sees as a big win for the community, as the Kreis-Anzeiger. The open-air singing will sound in a wide variety of voices, from classical to pop, a colorful palette that nobody should miss.

It is a nice tradition that stays alive in Gedern. And even if Hartmut Fillsack's musical era is coming to an end, the memories and the music will remain. The audience can look forward to an unforgettable evening that will not only represent the farewell of a chord director, but also the celebration of many unforgettable moments for the choir scene.
